Eastern and southern Sicily was populated by Greek colonists, and the Phoenicians of Carthage held trade posts in the west and controlled the western part of the island. The native Sicilians (the Sicani and Sicels) lived mostly inland. 300 B.C. was in the interwar period between the Second Sicilian War (410 BC-340 BC) and the Third Sicilian War (315-307 BC). Sicilian Wars is a term used by historians for the wars fought between the Greeks and the Carthaginians in Sicily. Therefore, 300 B.C. was in period of peace and prosperity.
